This thread made me laugh too - thanks!
I hope your underwear looks nice, if it will be your outfit for running.
If you want to hide your face, run naked!

I definitely won't be wearing any short shorts. But someone earlier posted a link to some decent looking running shorts with a liner that looks like it goes to the knees. That will be perfect for what I need.

Actually, sometimes I kinda dig the flopping around thing. It gives my boys some freedom.

But really, I wear boxer briefs but never when running. I always wear running shorts with the built-in liner in them; that's all you need. You won't perspire as much down there if you do this and ditch the undies when ya jog.

Underarmour boxer jocks are the best underwear ever. They are kind of expensive but are perfect.

Flopping around may be ok running on a home treadmill but I've started running at a park with a few hundred other people running too. I don't want that kind of attention. Running shorts with a built in liner is the way I'm going to go.

I'm not a runner, but I knew a guy who developed some kind of temporary medical problem due to running in boxers. I don't remember what the doctor recommended for him to wear instead.

I think that would turn into a full frontal assault.

I actually saw a few people running only in those when I did Spartan Race.

Then again, those sort of obstacle course / mud runs have a vibe that is more like Lollapalooza.

Too much bouncing caused some bruising?

LOL--There's a "My johnson is sooo big that..." joke in here somewhere.

Like the one about when I hurt my back and the doc told me not to lift anything too heavy for awhile, so I had to pee sitting down for a month.

Ba-dum-bump.
